| No need to panic guys.....I’ve been told from a reliable source within the clubs who our new HB is going to be. He will be in place for the Cas away game.
It’s:
Ablett on his return from injury....cannot be any worse than Sutcliffe
I’ll get my coat

Like what our plans are, recruitment etc, because relegation is huge possibility now and like it has been said we as a huge club cannot afford that, it would cripple us and it would take decades to recover. Our management is damn right terrible as well as most of our players.'"
You expect club to announce its recruitment plans?
When club has things to announce it will.

I firmly believe Sinfield would still be a better option than Myler or Sutcliffe. If we break the role down into specific areas and rate the 3 of them;
Organising/game management - Sinfield is the best of the 3 by a million miles
Passing - Sinfield is the best of the 3
Long kicking - Sinfield is the best of the 3
Short kicking - Sinfield is the best of the 3
Leadership - Sinfield is the best of the 3
Defence - Sinfield is the best of the 3, though lack of pace/mobility would hamper him
Taking on the line - Sutcliffe the best, but hardly does it and isn't exactly dangerous, Myler has zero threat, Sinfields pace and age would hamper him
Pace - Sinfield is probably the worst, but as above, the other 2 aren't running it anyway
We'd be a better team with Sinfield playing, even at his age and pace'"
Agreed, this is why I think he should return, if the rumoured half back transfer doesn’t come off.

| You've signed Rob Lui from us. He's been great for us but imt not too sure of he's the sort of hot and cold player that you need. I'm not pulling him down because he's leaving us he's been class for us at times but Hastings was definitely the sort of one you need.

| Thing is as much as we’d like Hastings there’s not much we can do if he doesn’t want to come so if he doesn’t were not left with many options for an immediate signing

If true, and I'm really hoping it's not, then it's a poor signing.
I think he is a decent enough player but as you say, not at all what we really need.

There’s too much noise surrounding it for it not to be true IMO

Christ.
If it is true and we go down then I'm afraid that's Sinny done.

And that's fair enough, you can't make players come to the club.
It's a hell of a gamble though.

Every transfer is a gamble. Ive seen plenty of highlights from Salford this year and Lui always looks v good. Extremely creative and full of confidence.

At the risk of having the same conversation on two threads, I hope you are right.

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |
|
| What you need is Jake Trueman and Luke Gale as your halves, get rid of Lolohea and Myler and also re-sign Jordan Lilley to be the understudy to Gale.
